YMCA Boys and Young Men of Color Strategy
What We Do
The YMCA Boys and Young Men of Color (BYMOC) strategy builds on, and invests in, pathways to success to help boys and young men of color reach their full potential.
WHY WE FOCUS ON BOYS AND YOUNG MEN OF COLOR
- They are twice as likely to grow up in poverty
- They are more likely to live in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty
- They are more likely to fall into poverty as adults, regardless of background
